Everyone if your dog organization or your town is having a dog event let me know so we can post it. But so we can get the word out about the forum, I will donate things for prizes. We are finally working on updating the forum with a social network component. It may take a few months because we have to fix the skin (graphics), etc. But it is time. We are getting lots of requests for partners that would fund all our paintings, sculptures, etc without making it an advertisement board. You can post your event on the calendar. Lets get bigger and bigger and keep getting great members.

Give me some ideas. I would like to start giving promotional items out at flyball, and other events. I want them to be such that people will carry them or use them. I also would like to go green. One thing I saw was lip balm with your logo on the lip balm. What else can you think of? Let me know if there are any events in your area in late June and beyond. Give me the contact information and I will send them some promotional items so that we are viewed as a sponsor. Thank you all for your great contributions.

This is only a couple of weeks away, so i know it's too soon. There's an unofficial dog park in my town. Owners and dogs are invited to a cookout. It's a wonderful place to walk your dog off leash. They can swim in the ocean or in a pond. Lots of kyaks, fishing and swimming. Tons of trails to walk. Lots of fields to run around in. There never seems to be problem with the dogs. The people are great to talk to. I believe it's the first year doing this. It's going to be intesting to see the turnout. It's a beautiful conservation area run by the Green Briar Nature Center. I'm sure they are all about going green.

There are various stalls, including face painting, BBQ, Bouncy Castle, etc.

Judging starts at 1pm and entries from 11am, there are quite a few novelty classes including - Best Rescue, Best Condition, Best Mover, Best Child Handler, Waggiest Tale, Handsome Dog, Prettiest Bitch.

Plus the usual Pedigree Classes.

There are also many classes for Obediance and Trials, more information can be found on Epping Forest Council Website under Dog Show.
